Gun and gear reviews Great day for the pits
Got out to the pits again, I have to say that so far, im very impressed with the homesteader. Using a mix of on sale 9mm from basspro but mainly pmc bronze 115 and 124 grain. Using oem glock mags.
Im a little over 1k rounds and not a single fail to feed, fail to fire or extract. Its been a solid 9.5/10 experience so far.
Only issue over had is a small set screw for holding the rear peep hole sight fell out, Henry shipped me a new one within 3 hours of emailing them. No cost and expedited shipping.
Add in the Neuman metalworks handguard that I tossed on last night, and its a blast. If you're on the fence about getting one, get it. Its a ton of fun to shoot.

My 12.5 inch renegade is my favourite gun.
But god do I hate standing next to it. Even with a linear comp the concussion is annoying.

Muzzle brake on 223/556 is really loud lol that’s my favourite part of shooting it lol

dawg idk if it's the colour grading on your cam or whatever, but why does the FDE on your MRA look like diaper shit?

u/TheBulletBuddy Aug 01 '26
Cause its coyote brown not FDE haha

u/elo_itr Aug 01 '26

u/TheBulletBuddy Aug 01 '26
The color is a bit off compared to in person though for sure. Idk, I like it haha
Could be something with my cam settings. It was a high glare mode or something like that

Which forend did you get for the Homesteader? Looking to upgrade mine.
Only put 30 rounds through it so far but really like it.

u/TheBulletBuddy Aug 02 '26
This would be the new Neumann metalworks one. He's always posting in here and also has a website under the same name.
Ive only had the handguard for a week but it feels pretty good. Can't say much about longevity yet haha

What’s the optic on the homesteader?
2
u/TheBulletBuddy Aug 01 '26
Just a vortex crossfire 2 green dot

u/throwawayacct00212 Aug 01 '26
Nice. Great rifle indeed. PMC ammo works great here also in both OEM glock and Magpul mags. Iron sites are decent but I’m considering a red dot.

u/TheBulletBuddy Aug 01 '26
Cant go wrong with a red dot. Im going to be getting a 1 - 8 lpvo for my renegade most likely, so the RT6 currently on the renegade will get swapped over im thinking.

u/matchan80 Aug 01 '26
How do you like the Burris LPVO? I assume it's the RT-6?
2
u/TheBulletBuddy Aug 02 '26
Ive had it for 3 years and have had no issues. Love the thing. Nothing to complain about at all

u/epnk420 Aug 02 '26
Gotta love Henry’s

u/TheBulletBuddy Aug 02 '26
Its my first one. Great impression so far.

u/epnk420 Aug 02 '26
Right on welcome to the Henry family I’ve got 2 so far still need a big boy space cowboy lol I also have a MRA renegade but it’s really picky with ammo, I built mine myself so maybe I did something wrong but I get light strikes, half the ammo doesn’t fire. Might be the fact it’s Barnaul though
2
u/TheBulletBuddy Aug 02 '26
The supreme is on my list for lever actions. Love how some poeple dress them up.
Cant say ive ever had any light strike issues with mine. And ive run a lot of random stuff from GP through it. Never tried Barnaul yet though.
